EMMA IVY MELLARK-BAIRD WAS A DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST. Her entire life, she'd been sheltered in the shady canopy of trees, raised alongside the snakes and crawly critters and bathed in the calm water of the lake. However, all of that changed after the death of her grandmothers' and once her mother fell ill. They were forced to rejoin society in district twelve—two women, who'd never known anyone besides the women who raised them and a fellow child of the forest.
Emma was doomed to be a constant echo. The perfect reflection of her grandmother. The rage of her other grandma. The love and compassion of her mother. The strength and resilience of her father. The fire and passion of her biological grandfather. She was the perfect combination of all the elements—and everyone's lives who had shaped her own. however, this meant she was not allowed to be her self. It was like her sole purpose in life was to be put on this earth and terrify one man. Coriolanus Snow. The man who had ruined the lives of everyone she'd ever love.
Two years after the death of her mother, Emma is reaped and forced to compete in the Hunger Games alongside Dusty Thistle. As the granddaughter of a victor she should surely be able to win. If not for Lucy Gray's forgotten legacy, then at least so she could prove to Panem that she's comes from a long line of fighters. She's not a hunter nor a performer. She's just a girl. However, if she wanted to win the hunger games, Emma will have to do what her grandma did best—sing her way out of trouble.
No matter how much Emma hated it, she was forced to lose her self identity and become her grandmother—she would serve as a reminder to the president of everything he'd done to her family and all that he'd lost.
It was like fate had written it in the stars that one glorious day, a Baird would finally watch the glistening fall of Snow.
